Beginning in July of 1976, flight tests have been on the Microwave Scanning Beam Landing System (MSBLS) built for NASA. The MSBLS is designed to supply accurate guidance information to the Space Shuttle as it returns from orbit to an aircraft-type runway. Because of the broad coverage (30 by 30 degrees) and high accuracy (0.05 degree in angle, 100 feet in range) of the MSBLS, a flexible reference system with higher accuracy was required. The laser tracker has been fulfilling this requirement.
